loud report to make the already excl
ted animals break through the slen-
der bounds that held them and rush
headlong possibly to their own de-
s;ruction. In such an emergency our
only hope was to keep them headed
away from the creek, for if they got 4
start in that direction it would be i'm
possible 10 check them before they had
plunged over the bank aud to certain
death below. With this object in
view We were keeping ourselves as
much as possible between them and
the point Of danger when the antici-
pated event occurred.
There came a most binding flash,
Instantly followed by clap Of thun-
der as though the heavens had fallen.
All courage and restraint instantly
left each animal, and before the sound
had hardy died away, every one Of
them was in mad gallop. with head
aud tail in the air. Now was the
time for our ponies to show their met
tie, as all depended upon their speed
and sure footedness. Leaning forward
IN the saddle, and plunging the spurs
in their TANKS, we dashed along over
the sage brush and dog holes, which
appeared like mammoth caves as our
quick little animals deity cleared
them. Up hill and down we rush.
riding side by side with the frantic
leaders Of the herd.
We are crowding them all we can,
using our "quirts on the sides of their
heads in the endeavor to turn them.
With ouI repeated blows and contin-
ued crowding they gradually swerve
from their course little by little. If
the pony should now make mis-
step, or if he should mlscalculate some
Jump he makes, and lurch from the
saddle, we would never know how it
happened, or ride on another stam-
pede. But he seems to know as well
Just where TO put his feet as if he had
been over the ground and practiced it
all beforehand We are gradually
turning them in a circle, and lessen
ing its circumference until finally We
have them packed closely together,
still running, and looking like an i'm
mense mill wheel. Those in the CEN
tire are merely turning around in their
tracks, while those on the outside are
still running.
Now We commence to sing to them
IN loT, grooming tone, which gradu-
ally has the wonderful effect Of quiet
ing them down, until finally they have
stopped running entirely. As we ride
around and pass them they will &C.
casionally elevate their noses and sniff
at us and appear to be treasured. AZ
ter about another half an hour we
have them again bed led down" lust
where We stopped them and some two
or three miles from camp.
They are resting almost as quietly
as if nothing had disturbed them. and
as our time is up the Mormon" rides
into camp TO call the second "relief."
Presently | hear the clatter of their
horses hools and the jingling of their
spurs, and after Hello :" all around
and a few answered inquiries as to
how We made it" ride slowly int,
camp. Our faithful little horses are
pretty well used up, and after pulling
OF their saddles and brides and pick
citing them and throwing off some of
our wet clothing, we turn in to sleep
soundly until the cook calls Roll
out :" at about half-past three next
morning.

Transformed by Natural Gas.

New York Tribune.
Major John j. Safely, of Indiana who was re-
Gently in New York, talked about the gas dis
coveries in that State, saying, among other
things: '"There has been added to the many
sources of the State of Indiana, the discovery of
a natur gal belt which bids fair to rival the
Ohio discoveries of which Findlay is the center.
The whole northeastern part of the State is
rapidly undergoing q complete transformation.
What has heretofore been regarded as a Quiet
rural section is alive to the busy hum of trade
and the roar of the escaping gas from the wells.
At every available point adjacent to railways
one can see derricks building, and at many
really astonishing At Anderson. Muncie Ko-
kumo, and other points equally available, the
question of gas supply has passed beyond the
field of conjecture The citizens of these
places offer to manufacturers land and
gas free for period OF from five ten
years, as an inducement to locate in their re-
spective towns. At Kokomo large glass manu-
fatories, traw-board mills. paper-mills and
other industries have already awaited themselves
cost, one might say, of nothing but the trouble
of moving. The other towns are equally wide
awake, and a visit to them would disclose a won
derful boom in all branches of business. The
capital of the State, Indianapolis, has already
been invaded by the Standard Oil people, with
proposition to supply the city with gas from the
town of Noblesville, twenty miles distant. The
city will doubtless embrace this opportunity to
rise from the stagnation in which it has been
sunk for several years. The prospect of secur-
ing gas and fuel has already had marked effect
